“I have lived with many Zen masters, all of them cats” (c) E. Tolle

Through opening up to the simple wisdom of nature each of us can learn to experience the present moment in its full beauty. Allowing oneself to exist not just through doing, but also through being can be breathtaking.
This is what I learned from “Guardians of Being” – an inspirational book that mixes the wisdom of a famous spirituality teacher Eckhart Tolle with funny drawings of Patrick McDonnell. This book was kindly recommended to me by an amazing coach Savannah Steinberg this weekend at Master IV “The Success Process” training by Creative Consciousness International. I have immediately ordered this book and other works of Tolle.

These quotes from the book inspire me:
“Most of us live in a world of mental abstraction, conceptualization, and image making – a world of thought. We are immersed in a continuous stream of mental noise. It seems that we can’t stop thinking”
“It’s so wonderful to watch an animal, because an animal has no opinion about itself. it is”.
“I have lived with many Zen masters, all of them cats”

Resume: a must have for all friends of animals and seekers of simple truth.
